Oxford - 1906

Author: Andrew Lang
Full Title:

Oxford / New Edition / With Fifty Illustrations

Published

London: Seeley & Co Limited, 1906

 

An early 20th century black half leather binding w/ attractive shelf appearance.  Spine in six compartment w/ gilt title, central gilt devices and raised bands; leather is gently rubbed along bands but this is easily remedied w/ a little leather polish and the shelf appearance is quite nice. Half leather and gray paper covered boards are lightly soiled w/ light edgewear. Binding tight and sound. t.e.g.; deckled fore-edge.

Mostly clean internally w/ very light, uniform age-toning. Complete w/ fifty full page illustrations of Oxford including a color frontis, w/ tissue guard, " Corpus Christi College "; frontis is slightly wrinkled perhaps due to the type of paper used and this is quite minor.

In VG+ condition, overall. A scarce example in nice period leather. Book measures c. 5 3/4" x 8 1/8". 286 pp
